Salty! Has over 36% of the daily sodium max
The average American consumes 5,000 mg of sodium daily — twice the recommended amount amount of 2400mg for healthy adults, this is 1 teaspoon of salt.
For medical reasons many people should not exceed 1500mg of sodium.
Surprisingly, you're responsible for only 15% of the sodium in your diet the bigger part - 75% of the sodium that you consume each day comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker.
Excess sodium intake increases the risk of high blood pressure, hypernatremia, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and other heart problems.
Are these reasons enough to cut the sodium intake? No doubt! -
Convert Salt tsps to Sodium mg easily
Salt (NaCl) is not excactly sodium (Na).
It is not right to use these terms as synonyms.
The FDA recommended limit of sodium is 2,300 mg per day (or even less - about 1500 mg while one is on low sodium diets).
This is much less than the weight of salt.
(5,750 mg per day or 3,750 mg for low sodium diet) and not so convenient to calculate.
Know how much sodium is in your salt - without a calculator:
1/4 tsp salt = 600 mg sodium
1/2 tsp salt = 1200 mg sodium
3/4 tsp salt = 1800 mg sodium
1 tsp salt = 2300 mg sodium -
2 tsp of sugars per serving
This volume includes both naturally occurring from ingredients and specially added sugars.
USDA tells us that last years each American consumed an average 130 pounds of caloric sweeteners per year!
That works out to 30 tsp of sugars per day approximately 480 extra calories!
Just to think: Eating just 200 more calories daily than your body requires for body functioning and exercise leads to a 20-pound weight gain in a year. -
VERY high fiber >44% DV. Proceed slowly
Fiber is a very important part of your diet, it improves your metabolism and helps keep your digestive system running smoothly.
But taking in too much and too fast can leave you bloated and gassy. -
A good source of protein
For many vegans and vegetarians, it's important to get enough protein.
The product you've just scanned will provide you with 18% or more of your daily protein requirement.
If you're a vegan having trouble meeting your protein needs, try nuts and beans.
Sprinkling nuts onto any dish is a quick, easy and nutritious solution.
Try adding beans in places you might not normally eat them.
Add beans to pasta dishes, stir fries and even salads.
While meat alternatives like Tofu do provide a quick and easy protein intake, they should not be your only source of protein.
Eat proteins from a variety of sources for best results. -
Naturally high in Vitamin C
You get real, natural easy absorbing Vitamin C from this product, not as a artificial fortified ingredient.
This is great! Let's try to get the best from the real food, because we get too much from artificial ingredients nowdays. -
Learn about veggies and iron
Veggies such as broccoli, bok choy, spinach, parsley and most leafy greens are naturally high in iron.
However, compared to other high-iron foods, like red meat, fish and poultry, the iron in plant foods is not absorbed as easily by the body. What can you do to increase the absorption of iron from these plant foods?
- Vitamin C increases the absorption - so try having a fresh tomato, lemon juice, or an orange together with your high iron food
- Avoid drinking too much coffee - caffeine can decrease the absorption of iron
- In addition to caffeine, the tannins found in tea can also reduce iron absorption
- If you are a vegetarian, try having iron-fortified breakfast cereals, legumes, and eggs
